Power injection issue

[Andrew Matheson]

Hi Borgo.
I thought Id reply just in case you experience this again or anyone else has issues….I had a very similar issue and the first pixel on my first of four arches was stuck on blue.. I replaced the first two pixels and it came good until it played up again a little while later. I took that arch out and tested on a cable teater and it worked ok for an hour. Turns out the issue was the cable from the controller had a faulty ground connection…. New cable and no issues since dec 1. ;-)

Hey @Borgo - where in Vic are you? You can add your location to the map here: https://auschristmaslighting.com/locations/

I'm always keen to see new displays (I was going to say Members - but you've been here longer than me).

Does "Alternate PSU" mean a 2nd PSU that is NOT the same PSU attached to the F16? If so, then you need to break the V+ wire somewhere near the middle of the string. You cannot have the V+ from two PSU attached to the same pixels. V- MUST be connected to both PSUs (through the pixels is fine, actually preferred).
